@matt – Use google cache but you have to know the url for the original tweet..

The thread was deleted off Twitter but not before one or more news websites posted screen captures of it.

I bet I have fucked more recently than your idiotic ass. Either way, it should be noted since I was responding to the River/Kyaa “relationship” and I understand BDSM better than 95% of this site’s readers.

BTW, Hop, what the fuck is your problem with me? Are you just a pot licking asshole or did we meet in some past life and you are pissed at me because I blackout drunkenly fucked you up? I don’t remember meeting you but I guess it is possible that you are pissed at me because I blacked out some night during the Carter administration and got into a fist fight with you or something. Now go fuck yourself, Hop Sing!

If someone is known untested before call time that day and penetration is planned to be involved that person should be told to stay home or offered a non-performer role, an example of this would be offering a one day job as a grip at the appropriate rate of pay. Even discussing a penetration role by untested talent should raise a red flag. The rule for penetration is no test, no penetrative performing role. The fact that the ladies involved stood their ground and refused to perform penetratively with Mr. Arclyte is good but shouldn’t have been necessary.

Thank you for the additional succinct analysis in your comment, XXX. I know that succinct analyses don’t make for readers and can be too short to explain something properly but it did make things easier to understand for some people.

As far as Kyaa making Enza’s decisions, I get a 24/7 dom/sub relationship (I don’t go that far but I am into moderate BDSM myself as a switch — preferring bondage over 24/7 dom/sub or heavy corporal) but that should be placed on pause during adult film scenes and Kyaa shouldn’t have even been on set that day unless she was hired in a non-performing role such as a cameraman or grip. If Enza isn’t capable of making her own decisions on-set she shouldn’t be performing in adult film scenes — period!

My reporting indicates that 1) everyone knew Arclyte had no valid test before the shoot; 2) the remaining talent knew they were to decide what they would and would not do in the scene; 3) knowing this, they all showed up; 4) no one — not Kiki nor anyone else — was ever pressured to do a fluid exchange performance with him; and 5) the remaining talent ultimately decided to do the scene without Arclyte altogether.

It should also be noted that, as another commented alluded, gay and trans shoots are often more lax vis-a-vis testing protocols and/or the substitution of condoms.

It’s also worth nothing that Jane Way is from Canada; this wasn’t your run of the mill porn valley shoot and she is likely not as deeply steeped in mainstream porn protocols. This being said, the shoot came off, and no one was harmed or “exposed” because the wishes and boundaries of the performers were respected.

What we have left then is a suspicious Twitter thread where, essentially, a trans performer is attacking a gay male. This situation reminds me of a section from VFR’s essay from June on Leigh Raven and Nikki Hearts ( https://mikesouth.com/industry/poison-love-nikki-hearts-and-leigh-raven-26543/ ):

[Lily Cade] had written in 2014 of the “tendency in queer circles to decide some person (always, always a gay person…) is ‘problematic’”, noting that identity politics and intersectional social justice battles had “utterly taken over what was once called Dyke porn and is now called Queer porn.”

And she was right. The mob, including Raven, went after Lily Cade for the same reason Leigh Raven went after a Mexican American worker: gays and low-status males — particularly men of color — are softer targets.

However, just because Kiki may use his “services” (I put that in quotes because I am not sure he actually provides much in the way of PR services, I am not accusing Kiki of fucking him) doesn’t mean she would assist in hiding what could be quite the scandal. I cannot say for sure but she seems to be intelligent enough to know that doing so would be career suicide for her. If D. Arclyte’s role did not involve genital contact then there wouldn’t be a problem. However, the other article on here led me to believe that originally D. Arclyte’s role was penetrative and that talent was being coerced into ignoring that fact that he wasn’t recently VD tested.

Gay and straight porn cannot mix. Well as long as the gay porn testing protocols given their testing requirements or more like the lack thereof of any.

As for Bosco, why does this fool’s name keeps coming up all the time?

Worse than Bosco is that other flaming con artist snow flake at Rising star PR.
He takes Fake PR to whole new level and makes Bosco look like he is in kindergarten at the scam game. When will a blogg expose that fair anyways.

You should reveal what a fucktard he really is and he does nothing for them girls.
Takes their money and convince them he is actually doing something. Lying scum bag Whats his name Deven Cypher of something, Cant even keep track of these nonsense types
